LOS ANGELES (KVRR)- Former North Dakota State quarterback Trey Lance is set to have a new home next season: Los Angeles.
According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, Lance reached agreement on a one-year deal worth up to $6.2 million with the Los Angeles Chargers.
Lance and Taylor Heinicke are now the backups behind Chargers starter Justin Herbert.
The former Bison QB has become a journeyman early in his pro career. Lance was selected third overall in the 2021 draft by the San Francisco 49ers. With San Fran, Lance started four games.
In 2023, the Dallas Cowboys traded for Lance, but he did not play that season. His first Cowboys start came in the 2024 regular season finale vs. the Washington Commanders. In that game, Lance completed 20 of 34 passes for 244 yards without a touchdown or interception, while running for 26 yards on six carries in a 23-19 last-second loss.
Lance essentially takes fellow former Bison QB Easton Stick’s spot in the Chargers QB room.
Stick and Carson Wentz both remain NFL free agents.
